Ep 67: The Bone Broth Shop w/ Mark Little

Stand-up comedian Mark Little (Gary and His Demons) joins Ryan and Mark to talk about his life as a stand-up in New York City, having to work his material into 3 minute sets, and where he gets his groceries and coffee (i know this doesn’t sound funny but it is so god damn funny). He builds a bone broth cafe in our town called O Broth-er We’re Out There. We also visit McDonkey’s Hee Haw Night - a stand up comedy night at The Town Library and we hear about a pretty sweet Boy Genius concert where Lily Tomlin is the opener.  We have rolled out all of the tiers for our new PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheTownShowThe Town Show is sponsored by No Smoke Coffee - "No Smoke.
